Cole Ragans Continues to Play Catch
Cole Ragans (groin) has continued to play catch and is expected to come off the 15-day injured list when first eligible. The southpaw hit the injured list after experiencing groin tightness during his start on May 16. However, Ragans has continued progressing well and remains on track to return to action when first eligible. Prior to his injury, Ragans was enjoying a strong start to the season, tallying 72 punchouts (fourth most in the AL) across 45 2/3 innings. He has posted a 4.53 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP. However, under the hood, the left-hander has generated an elite 2.26 xERA with a .190 xBA, suggesting he should see significant positive regression when he returns to action. While he remains sidelined, Noah Cameron and Daniel Lynch IV should remain in the starting rotation.
